Nemui Taidane

Nemui Taidane is a parody character created by Onaneko. She is loosely based from Vocaloid Hatsune Miku and is designed to be a lazy and lethargic character. Her name 怠惰音 (Taidane; Lazy Sound) ネムイ (Nemui; Idleness.).

Development
Nemui is supposedly a combination of Miku and Gumi due to Nemui's clothes based from Miku while her voice configuration is based on Gumi. Despite this, she is still considered largely a Miku-based fanmade. Cases like this are consider odd before, because previously, fanmades are strictly modeled after their character and voice source. With deviations like Neru (whose proper voice configuration originates from Kagamine Rin, despite Neru being largely Miku-based), voice source variations are acceptable these days.

Personality
Nemui will get particularly angry at any people who awakens her slumber without a good reason. It seems only Dell and Riza can do those without any fear of retribution. She is also known to have a nasty tendency of rage when provoked, reflected at her armwarmer console with the kanji character of Fire. It will glow brighter as she gets angrier. Her trait is possibly explained by the birthsign of Leo, known for people with rather rash and intense rage.

Nemui isn't actually a sloth. In fact, she works quite well, but because of this, she tires too easily. Whenever Dell tries to work beyond what his body can handle, Nemui persuades him (to the point of annoying Dell) to take a rest.

Biography
She is a parody character of people who are too lazy to make any song for Miku, or putting off any attempt thereof, better known as procrastinators.

She was closely associated with Honne Dell as her procrastination was better illustrated within work, and as consequence, getting punished by Dell for it.

For this reason, Nemui is often illustrated to be slacking, bored, or sleeping. Officially, she is attached as Dell and Riza's lazy subordinate in an unnamed company. Of the two however, Riza rarely, if not at all, lays a finger on her.

Riza and Nemui also have a bit of fan controversy outside storylines. One particular case is an edit war removing (and at times, insulting) Riza's alternate depictions as Dell's girlfriend, and proportionally grooming Nemui as the "canon" girlfriend of Dell. While pairings like these are not discouraged, they are not considered canon by the respective authors of the 3 characters, to maintain the openness of the characters when it comes to usage and interpretation, similar to the official Vocaloids.

Relationships
Orochi Herman, Riza's creator, officially acknowledges Nemui in the arc involving Honne Dell, and her involvement with Riza. Conversely, Onaneko has acknowledged Riza's involvement as well. Because Riza Sotone does things better than she does without being tired so easily, Nemui dislikes and is jealous of her. This was illustrated as her personal insecurity, hence her dislike of Riza.

Nemui is known to throw a slumber party with Ruko and Neru, the only seldom times she does not hole up in her office cubicle. Her opposite hardworking co-worker/colleague is Tsutomu Shigotone. They hardly meets and only met during lunch break.
